And the 361 seat A300-600.

It does show how well they are doing on these routes!

I'm guessing LS would LOVE to have a 767 on that route?:}

Any news on that by the way?

Egypt is a massive success and it amazes me that they are only flying 757s out there. However, I am sure that they would increase their capacity to the 767 if they had the resources to do so.

If you mean TOM, Some flights are on the 763 depending on the load.

Think LS are planning a 762/3 in the future?

Oh god here we go again..........:ugh:

When I joined LS a few years ago I was told I was very fortunate to be joining the 75 fleet as at that time we were about to get 76's!!

That was way before any of the extra chinese 75's were purchased and still no 76. I'm sure the company have looked and may have come close to purchasing one if not a few. I've also heard that Jet2 could have capitalised on charters had they owned some.

However, until one comes rolling out of the paint shop in Southend or I start a 767 conversion in the sim, I think its best to leave this rumor alone - and stick to the 787 one!! :hmm:

Well yesterday I did operate on the Jet2 777 and the day before on the Jet2 747.

No big deal really! Flew very much like a 737.

Future Aircraft!
 

PM was on my flight the other week, and we asked about future aircraft and PM said he is definatly looking for more 757s and 76s were planned for 2011, but he did say in the current climate aircraft prices are very favourable and if he got a deal he couldnt say no too it could be sooner! although maybe not flown on Jet2 routes more than likely wet leased out till we are ready for them. as for the 73s he said there is alot more life in them yet before they need to be replaced! :{

Did he mention anything about one a/c joining the fleet?

Jet2Krazey:

If he said we're getting 767's then it'll be Airbus 330's............

If he said he'd like more 75's then the whole fleet will be replaced by 739's........

If he said they were planned for 2011 that means we're either getting them next month or not at all.........

If he said the 73's have loads of life in, then that means he really thinks they're old and nackered and will be changed asap.......

......... or did he really mean what he said ;) :ok:

Hey he does keep his word! He said Jet2 would get 4 extra check in desks at LBA and hey they got them last week!! :D He said it was going to be a lovely day one day last week - guess what the sun came out!

However there won't be any new aircraft for yonks - PM was walking up and down at LBA a few morings ago admiring his red and silver beauties like they were brand new! :rolleyes: There is still life left in the old birds!

We are not getting 767's, and the tech manuals have not already arrived in Manchester!:E

they may have 4 more check in desks but not the 4 staff to man them!!

Ah god not the 767 crap again!
There was a 767 SEP manual in the NCL crew room last summer left lying around, do you see any 767s online? no?
We heard all sorts, training captains off to seattle for training courses, engineers being trained up on the 767.... we even heard we had one parked up on maintenance in Shannon, and yet.... suprise suprise... NO 767!!!!
I would like to see Jet2 get them but for now, i think they need to concentrate on what they've got!
Also, just for my 2pence worth, when i joined the company the 733 was to be replaced with the Airbus family... need i say more?

New York is back!
 

. . . Well it is at least from Newquay.

A special shopping city trip charter from Newquay departing on the 19th November diect to New York has been planned using a Jet2 757. With this planned I can see there being an announcement for departures from LBA and perhaps even other regional airports, albeit most likely less frequency compared to last year.

If it is, I sincerly hope they get the pricing structure correct from the outset.

Remember last year, the lucky ones who booked first paid £579* whilst those who waited a while paid £259*.

* Basic flight cost including taxes.

Is this being organised by Jet 2 or are they simply operating the flight on behalf of a 3rd party?

Oh behalf of a tour operator down here in Cornwall, Newells Travel I think.

Who operated the 767 for you? (I presume the cabin crew were LS though).

I don't think Jet2 have their own ETOPS approval, so am I right in thinking that the 767 used it's own approval, whilst any LS 757 charter across the pond would have to go non-ETOPS?


LJ

Jet2 dont have a 767? :confused: and they do have ETOPS approval for the 757!

Which 767?? :confused:

Jet2 have had 180 mins approval since last year, mostly thanks to the very hard work of a couple of individuals putting in many hours work!

LS operated 4 New York charters on a 757 - namely G-LSAB :ok:

Sorry guys, duff info (hence the question!)....

Was under the impression you sub-chartered one in for Noo Yoik........
Anyhoo. Cheers for the swift responses without too much flaming:ok:
